Remind me what the Escapist stereotype implies?
"elitist PC gamer who is a fanboy of Valve and Bioware and looks down on popular games like Halo, CoD and Final Fantasy".

It is only a stereotype, but it sadly holds true in some cases.

i would be close to add bethesda games in there, but generally its bethesda games MODS that people jump off a bridge for. they say how good fallout 3 and morrowind and stuff are but then they mod it to the point that its not even the game anymore =\ (not that there is anything wrong with that..but when you become a cultist about it it becomes a bit strange..)

I box and do judo. I go running and work out. I really like rap music (there's some great stuff out there, it isn't all just hoes and guns - although I admit I do enjoy some gangsta rap from time to time). There is a ladybird infestation in my house. I'm French.

Yeah some of that just might've made me sound like a douche (especially the bit about me being French :p), but I wouldn't have thought the vast majority of you do or are those (yeah I may well be completely wrong).

I've mentioned this on a few other occasions but:

I am a Valve fanboy who likes Halo and isn't an "elitist jerkoff", like I have been told Valve fanboys are.

I wasn't aware there was an Escapist stereotype. A general internet forum douchebag stereotype? Now that exists.

Well, I rarely play video games (once a week at best)

I love Modern Warfare 2 Multiplayer and Single Player (better story than most movies today, plus great settings)

I am almost religious (barely anymore though. I can only take so much stupid before I say "Oh really?")

and Red Dead Redemption is boring as hell (so far have not heard anyone agree with me)
Boring as hell? No.

Was it overhyped on accident? Definately yes.

It kinda felt like it was trying to hard to retain the old GTA vibe, and that shown through the Single player. Expected it to be much better. It was no where near as good as I thought it would be.

He's a master at making shit blow up. :D

I was going to post a .gif here, but then decided it was a baaaaad idea.

OT: I'm fervently religious and hate all war shooters.

No-one realised we had a stereotype?

It's pretty much elitism & egotism. Insufferable elitism & egotism.
I fit column A perfectly, column B though, only when I'm feeling sassy.
In all seriousness though, I am an elitist bastard, I won't deny it. I find something I like, and only people I approve of are allowed to experience it too, if I can't stop them, then I will condemn it as a lost cause and flee to the next thing I wouldn't allow this person [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/profiles/view/] into. Ever.

How can you have a whole account based around a pickup?
(A Dimarzio no less? :)

OT: I won't be aggressive merely because I have a different opinion to someone else.

Well, I really like the pickup. I also wanted to see if ANYONE got it.

So far, you're the only one.

Major kudos and many pats on the back.
